Welfare:
SNAP, the U.S. food stamp
program, has become a conduit for redistributing wealth and

White House markets to illegals.
While
the administration laments
the distraction of "phony" scandals like Benghazi and Fast and

"And
what is absolutely true
is that we have come a long way since the depths of the Great
Recession,"
White House Press Secretary Jay Carney said at a recent press briefing.
"We've created over 7.2 million private-sector jobs." How many of
those jobs are part-time is one of the many things Carney left out.
Since
February 2009, the first full
month of Obama's presidency, 9.5 million Americans have dropped out of
the
labor force. Nearly 90 million working-age Americans are not working
today.
Doing the math, 1.3 Americans have dropped out of the labor force for
every job

At
the end of January 2009, 32.2
million Americans received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(SNAP)
aid. As of April 2013, there were 47.5 million Americans on food
stamps. Using

means more than two people went on food stamps for each job the
administration
says it has created.
That's
not the only statistic Carney
won't recite...
